And to verify that I have not screwed it up in some manner, I sent
back to the web site, copied the script again after receiving your
question, deleted the contents of the script, pasted this morning's
copy, saved it and ran it again.

OK, I resolved the problem with the script not allowing me to change the message.

I went into the POCO directory and found an .ini that carried the name of one of the previous scripts for this same purpose. Moving that .ini to a folder unknown to POCO solved that problem.

However, I still can not get an email addressed properly if I have anything in the "display as" panel.

If most of the names in that address book do not have anything in the "display as" and there is only one, it may work occasionally. But try it with 20 or so all with the a name in the "display as" and you will get only two or so to work.

I ran it on one address book that had 56 addresses, each with their full name in the display box and it copied every one of them correctly.

I don't recall all scripts having this requirement, but when setting this script up, I had to do the same thing that I did earlier today, that is go into the POCO folder and remove the .ini from the previous version.

In addition to that, it would not run until I ran it one time in debug and then saved it.

After that, it would allow me to change addresses, subjects and messages.

for some reason, each new version goes after the previous version .ini even though it saved is ouwn .ini.

It works and I am happy; not complaining. But the next time someone has a problem, get them to look at the .ini situation, run debug and then save.

One that would call up "Send to all in this Address Book", open it at the "set up script" page, allow us to enter our information, address book, subject, sender address; click on the message body button and write out our message....

At that point, it should have a save button which would save the new message and all of the other changes and exit.

I have a "send to all" button on my tool bar, so all I would need to do is click it and the job would be done.

You may need to change the path to notepad.exe in setup script. At each stage of the script you can cancel the send. When editing the message in notepad, the only way to cancel it is to delete everything (so the file is empty) and save that, then the script will cancel for you.

I hope that makes sense and (almost) does what you want. If it's of no use then sorry!

Edit: Improved error checking
